<p>That moment has just been captured perfectly by&nbsp;Portland-based birth photographer Laura Paulescu.</p>

<p>The image is of a mother giving her firstborn a big hug goodbye before the little girl has to leave the delivery room so her mum can give birth to her new brother or sister.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;dynamics of their relationship is about to change and the birth of a second child can be a real bittersweet moment for some mothers as the special time they shared with their first child comes to an end.</p>

<p>However, the picture also captures the remarkable strength of the mother holding her daughter and reassuring her that everything is going to be just fine.</p>

<p>Beautiful.</p>
